Posted on by

Hi all,

I need to remove permissions to edit user's own notes on timeline. I tried the below but no luck, user can still edit them.

I made sure that use is not assigned with any other roles that has write permissions. 

Could you please help?

    Hi Reddy,

    Yes, I can understand your pain!

    Let's imagine that your note is on the opportunity entity form. You have to go to the relationship opportunity/note and uncheck the reparent cascade.

    If the relationship between the parent record and Note is 1: N, it will change depending on the setting of the association behavior.

    If it is Parental, it may have inherited the privileges of the owner of the parent record.

    Take a look at this document as well

    Hi, 

    Go to your Solution --> Contact Entity --> 1:N Relationships --> Find & click on Contact_Annotation relationship

    Then configure your cascade as shown below:

    Hi, 

    Save And publish your changes.

    When users will update the note, the system will pop an error message. 

    I will replay the same scenario in my environement.

    Hi, 

    I just replay the same scenario in my environment. I agree that we have the ability to edit the note on the timeline. However, by clicking on save. An error message appears.

    Important note: This will only work for new notes created after the cascade has been modified. Old notes will not be impacted. Otherwise, users will still be able to modify old notes.
